Excerpt from book:
the road between Yevreli-Keui and Akhlat, and are said to be common on the hills in the neighbourhood. Chavdar is situated at a height of 1900 feet on the watershed between the Kisir- Chai and Sari-Chai, and owns a large part of the upper slopes of Latinos, even beyond Arabarli Kale and the highest peak. Only a small part of this is cultivated. The valuable pine-nut is the chief forest tree; and goats and bees are kept in large numbers, though the hives suffer much from the numerous bears. About an hour south-west of Chavdar are the remains of an older village, which, according to local tradition, was once populous. From near this village an old road can be traced into the neighbourhood of Arabarli Kale, well paved, and skilfully conducted through very difficult country on terraces and bridges. A fragment probably of the same road passes the temple of Zews Stratios at Baghajik. At Arabarli Kale is a mediaeval ruin, apparently a fortified monastery. At Teke-Kale, on the highest point of the watershed between the Karpuzli-Chai and the China-Chai, is an ancient settlement with tombs of Latmian type, and an admirably preserved fort t visible from Amyzon, and probably built, like those at Attau-lu-su and Kurun-dere,$ to serve as a signal station between Tballes and Mylasa. In this section the course of the river and the configuration of the country are wrongly given in Kiepen's map. Kiepert formerly identified Demirji Deresi with Koskinia (Karle de Wail. Kleinasien), but in his Forma Orbis, 1895, he gives this site rightly to Alinda, which he formerly placed at Kapraklar, near Mesevli. The last-named site should probably be identified with Hyllarima; Koskinia should be looked for at or near Hazan Boghaz (not Hassan Boghaz, as in Kiepert's map), and the road thence to Alabanda...
